Goodbye Gonzo

While Gonzo may not be the best player the Arizona Diamondbacks ever had, he ranks in the top three and is my favorite. His personality and care for the community has endeared him to me and to “CRPlake Hall of Fame.” On the last day of the season, October 1, 2006, the Diamondbacks honored Gonzo, Counsell, Rick Dozer, past president, Joe Garagiola, past general manager and Jerry Conlangelo by presenting them with a replica of the 2001 World Series trophy. Hopefully, this event will heal the differences between the old and new regime.
